Point of contact:

Schemes:

Shropshire Council has fund available to support various local projects and initiatives. Diverse projects are funded each year, however note that the council usually awards small grants. For further guidance, please visit the council's website or contact the Community Development Team.

In addition, the Shropshire Voluntary and Community Sector Assembly is also able to guide and support local voluntary organisations. More information is available on their website.

Many local authorities are now moving away from grant-making and beginning to use commissioning as a way to distribute funding to the third sector. Local commissioners can be difficult to find and identify, however NAVCA have created a guide that may help: 'Finding your Commissioner'

Our ratings are by no means a final verdict, just a starting point to begin discussions about the voluntary sector’s experience of government funders. We are inviting all subscribers to share their experiences and contribute to the DSC Funder Rating. If you can help, please email us at ratings@governmentfunding.org.uk.
